Every one wants to be a part of that great campaign. —o DON’T FORGET TO PI T THE OLD I’APEES AND TIN CANS OCT FOR TOMORROWS PICKVP.., o—o p tab on the weather man who claims tiie first three days ol March rule the first three mouths. He might be right. O—o Experts say the new election law now in the legislature is so lull of errors that its enactment will cause chaos in the 1946 elections.

—o It looks like the fans will get baseball this year although it can't be Ute old brand for the teams are I being weeded otr for war or production service. Look for somel wild games and lop-sided scores. —o—o Germany may lose Hit war finally because of an oil famine They now have loss than 100,000 tons per -month a.iid that won't go i'ar in operating their air and armored equipment. O—O—_ The law makers at Indianapolis i found tlie welfare measure a “hot potato" so they "passed '.lv buck" 1 by continuing the probe. In other words they ate not going to do any thing about it. —o Roy Price, county treasurer, reports hat the- tax receipts are ready now and those who like to 1 get in early can be waited on any time they call. And it's not such ajtad idea. W o—o Regardless of what the senate does or tries to do to Henry F. Wallace, lie will continue to be th? leader of a large group of voters who believe in bis ability and Biucerity. O—o The city o' Van Wert will spend some fifteen thousand dollars to improve streets and provide equipment so the city forces van ke- p streets, sewers and catch basins in good condition. It s wise to protect the investments in a community, even during war times. O—O The Yuuku Fifth Fleet has destroyed 1,610 Jap planes and 167 ■ships since December Ist. if any nation can stand that rate long they must have some method, of production no others have discovered. And it won't get any easier for tbeui. For a copy of the Decatur Daily Democrat go to The Stopback on sale each evening 4<?

Grow a Victory garden this year, not just for the fun of it but t<) actually provide vegetables. Last year these gardens produced forty percent of the entire supply tn the country and this year it should be fifty percent. Indiana should have 750,000 gardens for 1945. O—O Henry Larson, a Chicago policeman who served in the U. S. navy until discharged a year ago and who has inherited $125,000 says he will continue on his beat because he feels he can be of help to people and he loves people. The world needs more Larsons. O—O The Red Cross campaign is not a drive but rather a privilege. If i you don't care to extend the hand of mercy to tiiose in need you will

not be interested, but if you do 1 I wish to help those who are giving' their very life blood that we may i continue to live, you will give tin-' til it hurts. O—O The mighty offensive of General j ‘ Eisenhower’s armies on the West-1 eru front continues unabated. The I Ninth army is utaring Cologlie. a city of 700,000 and making headway each day. Once through that city and across the Rhine, the great armies will move on rapidly towards Berlin. Allied forces of the east and west may soon join each other for the final move. O—O Republican legislative hate and . mistrust of the Welfare Department continues even though that branch < is being taken over by a G. 1). P ; t appointee, says Maurice Early in j the ImlianajKilis Star. Counties that ' fail to reinvestigate all old-age I is

be penalized by a provision of the ■ new welfare bill. The law has ai-1 I waye required these annual rein-I I vestigatioiis but some counties have | | neglected the work.' In the future, 1 the new measure provides that the stale and Federal reimbursement money will be withheld in in-' stances where reinvestigation is neglected. That will force the county to pay the entire pension bill in sue'h cased. O—O ; President Roosevelt has returned to Washington after his long and arduous trip to the Crimea confe - | cnee and other meetings held for j the purpose of planning the future lof this nation and the world. His safe return brings relief to millions of people who are depending oa him to steer the ship of state through troublesome waters. His I secretary. Major-General Edwin M. j Watson, who had made all the ■ president's appointments since he I entered office in 1933. died from a cerebral hemorrhage aboard he cruiser on which Mr. Roosevelt and his party returned to this country. A splendid servant of the people, devoted to his duties, the death of this man calls attention to the strain and exertion under which many public men now work. - If you have been trying to follow, the legislature by simply keeping track of them by the numbers, you may be in for a fooling. Many of them have been so changed in the maize of amendments that they can’t be recognized. For instance; House Bill 54, which began life as a measure to reduce gross income tax rates for contractors, has passed the .House as a bill dealing with juvenile criminals; House Bill 65, initially affecting the licensing of maternity hospitals, now deals with ' the extension of pipelines by municipal water plants; House Bill 69, formerly a measure to pernrt the levying of property taxes by cities for postwar funds, now legalize* payments previously made to the clerk-treasurer of North Vernon. - o Twenty Years Aao Today • 4 G ‘March 2—-The house passes a bill I • to regulate , bus traffic in Indiana.

CHAPTER-THIRTY-ONE Aggie hurried along and, presently, he was in the main cellar. There, he decided, the person who had set out the bottle would have his best chance — if, indeed, that person had any idea of attacking him. Aggie crouched low and moved among bulky, invisible objects toward the stairs. He hit something and felt it yield and fall away. The feeling was followed by a crash. He had tipped over a wheelbarrow loaded with broken flowerpots. He swore and recklessly switched on his light, from behind a pillar. He shot it around the vast, crowded, dusty furnace room. Nothing there. He kept it on and speed toward the steps, past the furnace. He had nearly gained his objective when he stopped. His light held on the ashstrewn floor for an instant. A bone —a veal bone—lay in the dust. A bone gnawed bare—or boiled bare—he did not have time to determine. The cellar lights flashed on and a voice at the head of the stairs called, “Who’s that?” “Mel Aggie I” He felt enormously relieved. “It’s me, Jack!” The manager of the club was standing at the head of the stairs with a revolver in his hand. He was wearing a dressing gown and bedroom slippers. He grinned faintly. “My God, Aggie,” he said, “how you do get around! What in the world are you doing there?” “Trying to get out,” Aggie said honestly. “And somebody’s in this hole—somewhere.” He was running up the stairs. He pulled Jack into the pantry, slammed the door, and locked it “That ought to hold him. I’ll call Wes and—” He broke off, In the club kitchen, staring at him, were several people. Beth and Martha and Bill Calder. Ralph Patton and Byron Waite. Most surprising. Wes Wickman, in his uniform, looking extraordinarily disheveled. There were grass stains on his hands and there was dirt on his shoes. He was breathing hard but unobtrusively, as if he had recently been engaged in some form of work, and as if he were trying to make that fact unnoticeable. Loaves pf sliced bread, a leg of lamb, mustard pickles, were ranged on the center table. Wes said, "Wke’s in the cellar, Aggie?” “I don’t know. I—" Beth said. “You look as if you’d been pulled through a knothole! A filthy knothole. Walking in your sleep, I suppose?” Wes leaned against a huge refrigerator. “Just what in the name of sin does thia mean, Aggie? You were first to find Calder. First to find George Davig. First to send out the alarm. And now—while I’m frantically at work over at the Davis place—l get a frenzied message from Sarah via old John saying to go save your life in the club sellar. What’s there?” "Somebody,” Aggie answered. ‘Look. Fpr heaven’s sake—get your men and have that cellar searched.” |

day campaign. "When our men got into the enemy-held ground, they found the Japs were there," he said. "They had to tight it out and killed them in what could nearly' be called 'hand-to-hand lighting '! It was believed the remaining | enemy defenses guarding the north coast were not so strong as those which the Americans have just pierced. HIKE POINT VALUES (Coutium-d From Page Due) monly used cans will be: Mixed fruits, No. 2-ty can, St) I points—up 20. Peaches. No. 2-tfc can, 80 points —up 20. Pineapple. No. 2-Mi can, 80 points —up 20. Pears, No. 2% can, 80 points - up 20. Tomatoes, No. 2 can, 30 points—up 10. Apples. No. 10 can, about six pounds. 80 points—down 40. Applesauce, No. 2 can. 10 points —down 20. Bowles said that major canned fruits must remain at higher poiutx values until "new packs are available.” Five more blue stamps each worth 10 points became good yesterday for buying processed foods. They were N-2, P-2, Q-2, R-2, and S-2 and will be good through June 30. MIGHTYAERIAL (Continued From Page One) Thunderbolt fighters shepherded the heavies over Germany. The RAF Ixawbers also had a formidable escort. Tactical -air forces on tihe continent were assumed to be in action, running the sorties against the Geranans well into the thousands. Never before had any such gigantic force of heavy bombers struck in such a dovetailing of the eastern and western fron't tactical operations. IT he synchronized assault followed by a day President Roosevelt's disclosure that a she Yalta confercniee direct, daily contact 'between the eastern and western fronts was established. Parachutes are dried in air-con-ditioning drying towers and store! in air-conditioned rooms to prevent deterioration, thus further safeguarding the lives of America's flying men and women.

The state trooper considered. “All . right.” Jack spoke. “There maybe was , somebody down there, at that! Ag- » gie—did you notice if the windows t in the furnace room were open, r when you went down?” j “No. They were not, that is." “Open now. Two of ’em,” , Aggie said, “I didn’t notice that. > Then — the person’s gone.” He j looked from face to face. All the , expressions were doubtful, accusa- , tive. Even the trooper’s. That in- , creased his feeling of frustration t and of defeat He needed sleep. He , was weak and nervous. He was an- , gry, too. “Hunh! Why ask me what , 1 was doing here? What are all of I you doing?” , Byron Waite said hastily, “I presume you expected me to go back to , sleep after the racket you raised at ' my place? I went over to the Davis . house. All the lights were on. I sat with the servants.” ' We went there, too,” Beth said. “We heard the sirens. Bill and ' Martha and I. As soon as we could . dress. We left Martha’s mother asleep—at least—she didn’t get up , when we did. Wes shooed us away , and so we all came up here.” “I was just getting up,” Jack said. . “They began banging on the door. I let ’em in. Nobody’s going to sleep any more tonight—so we’re making , sandwiches. Heard a crash in the cellar. I got the club gun. The Lord knows we’re all on edge!” Wes said dryly, “I think. Aggie, that / ought to ask the questions. Don’t you?” Aggie was on the point of answering when the pantry door was shoved open. Several more people in various stages of dishabille tramped into the club kitchen. They were asking, “What's wrong?” and "What’s happened at the Davises?” with the ad-libbed unanimity of a stage crowd. Aggie looked at them disgustedly. “You go down to your house. Aggie,” Wes said. “I’ll come along as soon as I take a squint in the cellar. Five minutes. I want to talk to you. I want to talk to you bad.” When Aggie re-entered his aunt’s cottage—at a dogtrot—he saw that Danielle had gone. It gave him a brief sense of dissatisfaction. Sarah had a good fire going. There were sandwiches on the coffee table—and cups. The old lady was lying back in the inglenook, and she greeted him acidly. “You’ve been gone a thundering long while!” “I had a lot of ground to cover.” “Well?” Aggie knew what she meant. He . sat down on a bench and leaned o.ver the coffee container. “Gone,” he said. “Nothing in the safe.* Sarah pursed her lips. A thin, 1 pensive whistle came through them ' “Gone, eh?” “How much was it, Sarah?” She shrugged. “The last state- ( ment showed—around a million.” “A tidy sum to carry off, huh?” He dumped sugar directly from a bowl. “I wondered. You know, I
